This study explores the task-specific self-efficacy of 1815 Chinese fourth graders and 1767 eighth graders as well as its relationship to their problem-posing performance and the moderating effect of grit on this relationship. the linear regression model, generalised additive model (GAM) and continuous threshold regression model (CTRM) were used.…

Many recently added studies concerning reforms on teaching Early Mathematics were taken into consideration by different countries all over the world. The rhetoric that has accompanied such reforms has often justified them in terms of the need to produce citizens who are better able to cope with the demands of the twenty-first century. As an area…

This study investigates the impact of gamified project-based learning (GPBL) on the learning motivation of elementary students in rural China and investigates how they perceive GPBL. Using GPBL as an intervention, this study adopts a descriptive qualitative research design, where observation notes, interviews, and focus groups triangulate to…

The present nonexperimental study explores the role of the school social context in shaping students' schooling experiences and personal well-being. A dynamic school system provides a rich environment that encompasses various processes, factors, and outcomes, one of the most significant being the provision of quality social support. In particular,…

Differential observing responses (DORs) are additional response requirements used to promote orientation to a stimulus in a discrimination task. Farber and Dickson (2023) recently provided a DOR taxonomy, and these authors reported that no prior research has compared the effects of distinct DOR requirements. We compared the effects of two DOR…

The use of technology and tools that enable the automation of personalized learning systems has become increasingly relevant and has attracted substantial attention in the field of research. Under this premise, the present study examines the potential of using personalized instructional sequences with activities in the Moodle learning management…

Background: Availability and quality of nutrition-related health-promoting interventions (N-HPIs) vary across primary schools. We examined whether school contextual factors (e.g., socioeconomic deprivation) were associated with N-HPI availability in Quebec, Canada, and whether available N-HPIs incorporated evidence-based implementation…

Web 2.0 tools for teaching purposes in schools are quite common. With Web 2.0 tools, students have the opportunity to both have fun and learn. Thus, students' willingness and motivation towards writing increases. Students whose writing motivation increases can write creatively in the process. The main purpose of this research is to reveal the…

The purpose of this study is to reveal the effect of writing scenarios for solved mathematical operations on students' higher-order thinking skills in mathematics lessons. Explanatory mixed-methods design was employed throughout the research process, collecting first the quantitative data and then the qualitative data set. The study group…

Depression is highly prevalent among left-behind children (LBC) in China. Previous research has suggested that attachment relationships may be linked to depression in LBC; however, the connections between different types of attachment relationships and depression, as well as the potential mechanisms involved, remain underexplored. This study…

The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted traditional learning in schools by abruptly transitioning to distance learning, prompting ongoing evaluation of its effects. This study extends previous research by incorporating additional data collected after two cohorts of students resumed in-person learning for multiple years. Northwest Evaluation Association…

Background: Empirical studies have revealed students' development of computational thinking (CT) and mathematical thinking (MT) during programming-based mathematical problem-solving, highlighting specific CT concepts or practices that serve as learning goals or outcomes. However, implementing programming-based mathematics instruction requires…

Whether racial and ethnic disparities in disability identification are currently occurring across elementary school is unclear. We analyzed the nationally representative Early Childhood Longitudinal Study-Kindergarten Class of 2010-2011 (N = 15,140) using discrete-time event history models with time-invariant and time-varying covariates. Black…
